I am concerned with how using the parallel controller will affect the performance number of the application I am testing against. Since the parallel controllers spin up an extra thread, if I have a few controllers in one test, then I have a bunch of extra threads running. I would think that might affect the performance numbers?

Or the performance of the load generator sending the requests? In both cases, adequate monitoring of connections/threads should pick up any issues.
